Missing } return statement

Apr 26th, 2008

I have an assignment for school that involves creating a java program that creates a basic class.

I'm getting an error missing return statement, if i try to compile.

What could be wrong here?

missing return statement means that your method expects you to return a value. for example :

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
int add(int x, int y) {
  return x+y;
}
int add(int x, int y) {
  return x+y;
}

if your method does not return a value its signature need to be like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
void foo() {
// some code here
}
void foo() {
// some code here
}

Good news, everyone!

Yeah, you can post your code here, that's the whole idea. PMs with code are discouraged on this site. It's better to post it for everyone so everyone can see it and people with the same problem can learn from it.
